Together, ServiceNow and Lightstep will extend the benefits of observability across the enterprise through digital workflows that convert real-time insights into action across all the technologies, people, and processes that enable digital business.
“Companies are betting on going digital in order to thrive in the 21st century, but the transition is often challenging to navigate.

By joining ServiceNow, together we will realise that vision for our customers and help transform the world of work in the process and we could not be more excited about it,” said Ben Sigelman, CEO and Co-founder, Lightstep.
